VH1 Cancels ‘Ev and Ocho’ Following Domestic Battery Arrest

*Yesterday, Chad Johnson was cut from the Miami Dolphins. Today, VH1 announced that his reality series “Ev and Ocho” has also been cut – both due to his recent arrest for domestic violence.

The receiver, (formerly known as Ochocinco), was taken into custody for allegedly hitting and head-butting his wife Evelyn Lozada. He has been charged with domestic battery.

The Dolphins organization, who are currently being filmed for the HBO series “Hard Knocks,” moved swiftly to cut him from the team following his arrest. Now VH1 is distancing itself from the athlete by scrapping their reality show, which was slated to premiere on Sept. 3 and chronicle the couple’s romance.

“Due to the unfortunate events over the weekend and the seriousness of the allegations, VH1 is pulling the series ‘Ev and Ocho’ from its schedule and has no current plans of airing it,” the network said in a statement released this afternoon.

I am waiting for either or both of these donkeys to release a statement begging & pleading with all of us to give them their privacy as they go through this “very private & personal family dispute”. Such clowns. I am having a hard time figuring out which direction the karma is flowing in this situation considering both of their past behavior.

Melody, all I know is that they can’t blame this fucktacular mess on a black woman. If this was a black female getting headbutted, some black men would have found a way to blame it on the woman. What goes around, comes around. He brought his own self down by his stupidity and lack of self control. Both of them sound like losers!

And that’s why she probably doesn’t care if her and Chad’s show airs or not. She still has a paycheck coming from BBW…he’s the one that’s gonna be azz out without an income. This is gonna be a GREAT story line for BBW. That’s what he gets for marrying this groupie trash.

Really?!

It’s a misdemeanor domestic abuse charge, something that we see every day with professional athletes. The man is not even tried and found guilty. And it’s not like Chad is a repeat offender. More than likely, in the worst case scenario, he will be placed on probation.

But I wouldn’t sweat it if I was Chad. Maybe this is the best thing to happen for his football career. Time to forget the distractions and concentrate on being the pro bowl player that he is capable of.

well let’s cancel the rest of the foolishness. Evelyn likes to fight, chad loves the media …..so what you put out is what will come back. its just sad that we contribute by watching, laughing and acknowledging this madness… this proves that you CAN NOT control sin, people love sin while they think they are in control but when that devil takes over to control, kill, steel and destroy we in tears asking why, God why

VH1 has been receiving complaints about the show prior to this incident, so this was just what they needed to cancel it. VH1 didn’t have to legitimate reason to cancel before, but now sponsors don’t want to be attached to domestic violence of any kind. I think Chad is a Terrell Owens in the making and Evelyn will soon be sold to the highest bider.

Just CAIN’T understand why niggahs are SO willing to “give money/MILLIONS back””, after it took so long to ….”get it”!!!! IGnant mufkahs I swear!!!! If you are a “Black” millionaire?, you should be doing ERRYthang to “KEEP” that shyt & NUTHin that may cause you to…..”loose it” “mentally OR monetarily”!! Chuuuuuuuch/Beleeeeeedat!!!!

And I STILL stand by what I posted in the other thread…..”awe don’t “know”
WTF happened here & them using “alleged”?, means that THEY don’t “know” eeeeeeithah!! So…..why are their “gigs snatched” already!!?? Yes they’re BOTH a fkn “prollum” but STILL…WTF!?? SMH!

Keep in mind prior to all of this chaos, they were already losing advertisers left and right because of her actions on BBW. Vh1 pulled out early regardless what went on last night between the two because they were going to lose even more advertisers and wouldn’t have any choice but to cancel the show due to the lack of support ($$$$$).

Ummmm why are the BBWives so quiet? Where is Shaunie, Jennifer, and Tami? I need one of them to say something. Hell where is John Sally? Mr. Peacemaker he tried to be. WOW!!!!! The silence is deafning.
